Blocks

I finally sat down to do some crafting! I made these locks for Juliet's dresser. There's a different font on each side, so we can change it when we get bored. ;) I thought they would be fun for her to play with when she gets older.


I started with plain square blocks, painted them black and cut out vinyl letters on my Cricut. I'm really happy with how it turned out. :)

Decor

I've been wanting to add some girly decor to Juliet's room. I looked around Etsy and saw several prints I liked, but figured I could make something a lot cheaper. I got the frames and paper half price at Hobby Lobby an cut out the black borders and giraffes on my Cricut. The whole project cost about $15. Not bad!

Candles

So, around Christmas, my sister made some candles. I thought it would be fun, so her and our sister-in-law came over today for a candle-making day. Each of us went home with about 7 candles. We figured it cost us about $7 to make the large ones and $5 for the small ones. We'll be doing it again for sure! :)

Pinterest

It has been way too long since I've gotten my craft on! I've been spending a ton of time on Pinterest and decided I should finally make something I've pinned. So, here's what I started with...

White yarn, red felt, a foam ring, scissors and hot glue (not pictured).

Wrap the yarn around the ring...don't worry about it being perfect. That's impossible. :) Then make some felt flowers to attach.  (All of the directions can be found at www.danielleburkleo.com).

The finished product. :) I used straight pins to attach the flowers, so I can switch them out for different seasons. 

It's new home on our front door. Festive right? :o)

Baby Shower

I had a baby shower to go to on Sunday and made this little ditty up to go with the gift. :)

Welcome

A while back, Joel and I headed to the hardware store for some crafting supplies.

I have been trying to find something to hang in our entryway. It's a really tall and skinny wall and I couldn't find anything to go there...

So, I thought, why not just make something?

Joel helped me get everything cut out and I got to work. I'm really happy with the finished product. :)

Cards

My sister-in-law and I had a craft day a couple of weeks ago. Here are a few cards I made...
